Since Slipstream came up in the miniatures request discussion, and I thought for sure I'd seen a couple of "space girls" and "space men" in the Chronoscope line, I figured I could check out the Reaper site for possible Slipstream candidates.

Gizmos/Gadgets/Guns:
* 50025: Futuristic Weapons (No distinct "ray guns," but a good starting point for conversions)
* P50165B: Sprue (Boneyard: wrench/arm and boiler pack that can be inverted for a clunky rocket-pack)

What's a good mini for Queen Anathraxa?_________________"Games give you a chance to excel, and if you're playing in good company you don't even mind if you lose because you had the enjoyment of the company during the course of the game. "

I'd also recommend checking out Froggy the Great's "misc. sci-fi" gallery on DeviantArt. It has quite a few Reaper miniatures turned into great sci-fi characters, quite a few of them suitable for Slipstream, converted in ways I likely wouldn't have imagined on my own.

But where's the power armor! And the laser swords!
For Anathraxa clones, they're great, but for the handmaidens? Not so awesome.

I'd probably use them for Valkyrie shock troopers and allies. Or for clones (with a number painted onto the forehead)._________________"Got a problem? I've got the solution: Rocket Launcher."

Personally, I don't imagine the handmaidens clad in something like 40k armor, myself... If anything, they have a shield-generating belt, but I don't think out-of-proportion bulky space armor is fitting with the 1930s Hollywood serial feel of the game, myself. Obviously YMMV._________________DAVROS: ‘Tar Lubek Ka’leed, Uth Ricta Dal’ek.’ Roughly translated, it means: ‘And on that day, men will become like gods.’ (I, DAVROS: GUILT)

Who said anything about 40K? I was thinking more along the lines of Bubblegum Crisis. Though pulp power armor usually looks a lot more like the first than the second of these pictures.

Of course the illustrations of the handmaidens (like the ones on the figure flats) show little more than red and white outfits with kneepads, shoulder pads, a visor of some kind and an exposed midriff. _________________DAVROS: ‘Tar Lubek Ka’leed, Uth Ricta Dal’ek.’ Roughly translated, it means: ‘And on that day, men will become like gods.’ (I, DAVROS: GUILT)

I've seen the weretigresses before, but left them out because they not only looked pretty "wild" (nekkid), but also because they appear to be "human face, cat ears" types of werecreatures, rather than "lion-headed" as Lionmen seem to be ... but then, I suppose one can get away with a bit of artistic license, and there seem to be plenty of OTHER feline-humanoids in the Slipstream, so I modified the category to be Lionmen *and other* cat-people that might fit in Slipstream.

Also, good point on the Werefox; I saw "naked werecreature," but I failed to realize that since this particular werecreature was portrayed with SMOOTH skin on the body (yet a hairy head and hands/feet), that lends itself quite well toward simply painting those areas as if she's wearing a jumpsuit - which should work perfectly for Slipstream._________________
